"Holidays" is easily one of my favorite songs of all time. Can't get enough of it.

I'm at the "Grief Is Very Private" single and it's quite exceptional. I'm surprised at how fucking good this is.

the "article" I wrote for Swingset Magazine in 2004:

I may update it one day with newer info, links, color photos etc, and post to the Acute site, but for now you can look at this and learn nothing new.

Dan, I don't know if it's already been addressed, but do you have the Evening Outs single and the Peel Sessions of the Desperate Bicycles on your burned CDs and if so, is it possible to receive any copies?

the desperate bicycles 7"s were all recently bootlegged with added bonus peel sessions tracks added. no sign of a 'remorse code' bootleg though.

and, great article, dan.
― stirmonster, Sunday, 24 June 2012 17:57 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks. Hopefully I'll do the updated version eventually.
I have the Evening Outs single and the Peel Sessions. Neither were on the original burned CDs.

Mark, when you email people via ilx, you have to include an email address so they can write back!

got the 4 "reissue" 7"s todayfirst single is Smokescreen/Handlebars on one side & Occupied Territory/Skill on the other, 2 great singles for the price of one.second single is Medium Was Tedium/Don't Back The Front on one side & 2 tracks from a Peel Session on the other, a slower & more together sounding version of Smokescreen & (i'm assuming) Teacher's Prayer (the sleeve & label have no info at all!)third & fourth singles are pretty straight repros of New Cross & Grief Is Very Private with sleeves changed/added. have to say stylophone/bass/drums is a great idea for a band lineup.

Rough Trade (and a few other places) are currently selling copies of the Remorse Code LP which are supposedly from a legit warehouse find. It's £24.99. I bought one but I'm now wondering if I'm just falling for a ruse to sell a bootleg at an inflated price.

"warehouse find" often means bootleg but it seems odd that rough trade would go to the length of saying These albums look and play as new but you have to remember they are from 33 years ago. You will not find a better copy if they weren't genuine. do you have a copy or are you waiting for it to arrive? the 7"s that were bootlegged have a sheen on the sleeves that the originals didn't have and this might be the case with this if it isn't actually original.

i just bought one so i guess i'll find out soon enough.
― stirmonster, Friday, 11 October 2013 09:49 (ten years ago) link
not sure who actually found them but Paco from La Vida Es Un Mus was selling these online the other day. would be p surprised if he was engaging in any underhand monkey business. decided not to buy one cos I can't rly justify (to myself) either spending that much on an LP or flipping it for a profit

Paco sells bootlegs all the time but I guess he doesn't normally claim they aren't bootlegs, just doesn't mention that at all.

yeah that's what I figure

Oh, to Stirmonster - no I don't have the copy yet, I just ordered it via mail order.

I was sorely tempted, but since I found that VU single I've been, um, sort of, is 'satisfied' the right word?
― Mark G, Friday, 11 October 2013 11:46 (ten years ago) link
...aaaand order cancelled as product is no longer available
― Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Friday, 11 October 2013 13:01 (ten years ago) link
same here.
― stirmonster, Friday, 11 October 2013 13:02 (ten years ago) link
and sold out everywhere else too. bah!
― stirmonster, Friday, 11 October 2013 13:03 (ten years ago) link
Hmm, what are the chances Paco still has a couple of these in his gig distro box... I may be going to one of his gigs tonight...

more of a desperate buy cycle amirite

I didn't want it anyway.

Oh great, I just saw this. Three hours and sold out? Bahhhhhhhh.
― emil.y, Friday, 11 October 2013 13:19 (ten years ago) link
And £24.99, while not cheap, is not an awful price for originals, seeing as reissues tend to go 'full artefact' and cost easily that much these days. Obviously if it's a boot then it's a rip-off.
